WHAT ARE THE AHLAN! AWARDS?

The Ahlan! Awards are our annual celebration of the country's finest - from restaurants and hotels to spas and malls to personalities and lots more. With the Awards, we recognise the outstanding achievements of the places and people that make the UAE what it is. In June we'll be welcoming the region's best known faces to declare the winners. Before that, we want YOU to tell us who deserves Ahlan! Awards for your chance to win Dhs10,000! Gift Voucher

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Nobody knows the country better than its residents. Young or old, national or expat, male or female - everybody has an opinion on what they like best and we want to hear it. To first nominate and later cast your votes, log on to Ahlan!Live, or, if you're new to Ahlan!Live, register as a member - it only takes a minute and it gives you a chance to WIN DHS10,000! Gift Voucher. Please note, nominations at AhlanAwards.com must be vetted for accuracy and cultural sensitivities. This process takes 24 hours, so new nominations will be added to the site the following working day. If you nominate a personality, you must give a clear indication of what this person is famous for; if we can't verify the person's identity we cannot add them to the list of nominees. Please also be sure your nominee is not already listed - if you nominate someone who is on the list already this does not count as a vote. If you have nominated a person or place that has not been added, you can request the reason why be emailing sarah.hymers@itp.com.

HOW ARE THE WINNERS CHOSEN?

1.Log in/Register and nominate your favourites in the categories listed.

2. From 4 May you can both nominate and vote for nominees within each category. You can enter multiple nominations in the same category but you can only cast one vote per category. Cast your votes by clicking on the 'Vote' button on the nominee of your choice for all categories. The online counting system ensures that votes can't be duplicated and that individual users can only vote once. From 20 May we will reveal the top 10 nominees in each category and the final round of voting will begin.

3. Voting will close on 30 May. On 1 June, one reader who's voted will be selected at random to win Dhs10,000 Gift Voucher.

4. The nominee with the most votes in each category wins. Winners will receive an award at the Ahlan! Awards celebrations in June 2016.
